Safely, Legally, and Anonymously Surrender an Unwanted InfantNew Jersey's Safe Haven Infant Protection Act allows an individual to give up an unwanted infant safely, legally and anonymously. The parents - or someone acting on their behalf - can bring a baby less than 30 days old to any hospital emergency room, police station, fire station, ambulance, first aid, and rescue squads that are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The New Jersey Department of Children and Families will take the infant into custody and place the infant with a foster or pre-adoptive home.
